It wasn't a Portugese Man of War jellyfish........
- 1 964 visitsThanks to Frank who asked me if the jellyfish I saw today wasn't a Moon Jellyfish and of course I had to go and Google that to check - but apparently it wasn't, but........... He pointed me in the right direction - I found out exactly what it was I saw on the beach today ......... It's a barrel Jellyfish and it's thankfully non-poisonous, to us humans anyway. There was a huge shoal of them spotted just down the coast back in July/August. The warm sea temperatures and the sunny days la…

Jellyfish beached and dogs loving water........
- 1 131 visitsHiya folks, well I haven't really done much which is why I haven't blogged recently. We just go to the beach every day and so the photos are of the same place. Okay there are many dogs playing and people walking up and down the beach, but I've already done lots of pictures of them. So imagine my delight when I discovered a beached jellyfish.... poor thing really, but it meant I had something different to photograph - sad isn't it? It was a big one too - about 18inches wide along the he…

My lilac trees are starting to bloom..........
- 1 028 visitsWent out into the strong wind today to take pictures of the lilac trees which have started to come out. I am so lucky that whoever planted the trees oh so many many years ago - certainly before we moved in here in 1959 - they planted alternate colours. So I have white lilacs, then dark purple, then pale lilac, then white and so on. The paler lilac is all over the place, the white and dark purple are coming up in other places too now, so I'm getting a lovely splash of colour...... This is…

A worm is eating it's way through my nasturtiums....
- 959 visitsI was sitting outside this afternoon to get some fresh air, it was warmish but not warm enough to stay outside for long. No sun though - whereas some of the UK has had loads.... Anyway while we were sitting out there - I took some pictures of new flowers which have come up - I couldn't just sit there without my camera now could I? I noticed a strange pattern on one of the nasturtium leaves ............... It was only when I'd enlarged it on the screen did I realise that there were bugs…

Damn sticky weeds, adorable kitties and some new growth
- 887 visitsWell I decided to go and look to see if I could find out if any more new growth is showing in the garden - honestly I went out there only a couple of days ago and I didn't see the sticky weed that assaulted my eyes when I went into the driveway today. There is loads and loads of it - climbing up over the log stores, strangling the plants, creeping along the gravel - it's horrendous. I swear I could almost see it growing. It comes out easily enough, but it sticks to anything and everything.......…

Photo phun - something purple
- 856 visitsSorry I didn't do this yesterday - as you know - I was away.............. Okay so here's just a quick few purple things I've got................. Can't remember at the moment which flower this is, but it was a very pretty flower................. The purple panses which went wild for about two weeks, then of course - we had the rain!!!!!!!!....... I did manage to have a gorgeous array of tulips this year. This was one of my favourite ones....................... Th…

After the showers - a busy day!!!
- 576 visitsHiya folks, well today has been very busy for me. After the usual shower, this time I had to do my hair etc for a change as I was being taken out for lunch. Yvonne collected me at 12.30pm and we had to dodge the raindrops which were falling quite heavily. On the way past the coal bunker I noticed this tiny rowan berry............ I then saw a bunch of semi-squashed berries and they looked so bright against the dark brown wet surface that I just had to take a picture of them...........…

Thank you all so so much for your very kind wishes for me today.
- 487 visitsThank you so so much folks for your very kind wishes today. I honestly swear that these birthdays come round twice a year now!!! It's been a lovely quiet day, well it was until my handyman came round to see how I was, and when he found out it was my birthday - I got a big hug!! That's all folks - honestly. So when he left I got back to sewing my quilt - I'm getting into it so much, though I've had to buy more material because I wasn't too keen on some of the shades I had - w…

Some lovely little flowers that have survived this year's awful summer
- 470 visitsMy neighbour has managed to have some really good results from her gardening prowess. She and her husband are out in their garden nearly every day if possible and I can only applaud their achievements. Here are some of their gorgeous flowers.............. A lovely passion flower that is showing off it's glory climbing around their porch.......... Now their fuschias are flowering and I just love this one................ I love this two toned one too................. Man…

I was lying on the bed with this man in the room!!!!!!!!!!!!
- 464 visitsThought that would get your attention!!!!!!!!!! LOL Ron came to put up my curtain pole and I'd got all the various items I thought he'd need, all set up for him. The paintbrush and the paint, cos I thought the baton would need painting. Some "no-nails" adhesive to make sure it sticks to the wall, the step-ladder all ready for him. He set about sorting it all out and I came downstairs to let him get on with it. A couple of hours later and he was downstairs saying that it was all finished. H…

Not a lot is going on at the moment...............
- 464 visitsThere's not a lot going on in my life at the moment - the thrill of my daughter getting married, having Christmas with my son's soon to be in-laws and having a mildish start to the New Year has sort of left me hanging at the moment!!! I've started on a new quilt - this time for me - as you already know, I've been doing about 5 or 6 hours a day sewing (with a machine!) and it's coming on in leaps and bounds. I'm getting quite excited really - how sad is that? I like the colours and I think t…

Will be absent for a while....................
- 459 visitsOkay folks, I thought I'd better let you lot know that I won't be on here til Monday night!!! I am going to stay with my daughter for the weekend and on the Sunday my son (he who is now going to be called FOMI "figment of my imagination"!!) and his partner are coming up to see me. I am coming back home on Monday. It's the free bus pass which will mean that I can travel to see them for free (as Mickey says - flashing the pass!) which helps me visit her. Okay it's a long trip - well it's onl…

I actually put my washing out on the line today.............
- 445 visitsCouldn't believe it but it was sunny again today!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to do a wash, and so I thought I'd see if I could get it dry by putting it on the line. When I took it out of the machine, somehow I'd left a tissue in a pocket!!!!!!!!!! You can guess what the clothes looked like - covered in confetti!!!!!!!!!! Well it's been so long since I last dried my washing outside - at least 6 months or so. So I gingerly went out and pegged the washing on the line - hoping against hope no-one would vis…

Zilli, the dog Mandi has sort of "adopted"......
- 424 visitsWhen we went to Turkey last year, a stray brindle dog sort of `"adopted" us and followed us everywhere we went. We asked Dogan if she had a name and he laughed and said that it was probably Zilli. When asked what Zilli meant - he explained it meant a girl who reallly likes boys!!! So I assume it means "Slapper"!!! When Mandi went back Zilli really made a fuss of her and so she was her constant companion. Now you can hardly not want her around you and I'm not a dog lover of sorts. Well I m…

My neighbour's gorgeous cat called Harry...........
- 416 visitsMy neighbour Yvonne has a lovely c at called Harry. He's been very elusive in the two years we've known each other. He is such a gorgeous looking cat that I've been desperate to "catch" him unawares. Today after taking me to the local re-cycling centre to get rid of my huge box of cardboard bits and a large bag of plastic bottles, Yvonne asked me in for a cup of coffee, and there he was............. He's such a lovely looking cat and I just had to get a close up of his blue eye…
